Maximum learners

Maximum 20 learners per tutor. A smaller group may be recommended where the session includes detailed practical assessment or where the venue limits safe practice space.

Prerequisites

Learners must be aged 16 or over to register for this qualification. A personal licence cannot be applied for until the age of 18. If you require additional learning or assessment support, please let us know when booking so appropriate support and any reasonable adjustments can be considered before the course.

Course duration

Official qualification duration: 8 guided learning hours (GLH) and 10 hours total qualification time (TQT).

Good Skills Training delivery: We normally schedule this qualification as 1 day. The exact timetable can vary by delivery route while still meeting the qualification requirements.

Qualify at Home: self-paced e-learning. Learners complete the learning at their own pace before completing the required Highfield assessment/invigilation arrangements for the qualification.

Qualify at Home option: Self Paced e-Learning followed by the required formal assessment. The qualification's GLH and TQT remain the governing requirements and have not been replaced by an indicative online completion time.

Indicative online learning time: 4?5 hours. This is an average completion time for the e-learning content and does not replace the qualification's formal GLH/TQT or assessment requirements.

Assessment

40-question multiple-choice examination completed in 60 minutes. Pass mark: 70%. If you need additional learning or assessment support, please tell us before the course so we have time to discuss appropriate support and, where applicable, reasonable adjustments in line with Highfield requirements.

Certification

Successful learners receive the relevant Highfield Qualifications regulated qualification certificate, subject to meeting all assessment requirements and Highfield quality assurance processes.

Requalification

There is no fixed universal requalification period stated for every Highfield qualification. Employers should refresh training in line with risk, role, legal requirements and organisational policy. Where a specific refresher qualification exists, we can advise on the most appropriate route.
